Did you air your tires down at all? That would have helped with traction. Nice video

This is SPI. It's a drive on beach and we're not allowed to go into the dunes this close off the road. Theres really no need for it.

Would either one of these be useful, for the price?

I have the D ring from Harbor Freight and have had no problems with it. It's rated for 10K but I personally wouldn't trust it with that weight. I think I've pulled 6500# with it with no issues.

That's a big no no in recovery and a good way to potentially kill someone. That would be like a cannon ball hurling through the air. I know there's a video around of one breaking loose. It wasn't pretty and put a hole through the tailgate and lodged into the cab.

Yeah because the straps cause a rubberband reaction. That's why it was able to be pulled out with that jerk

It's not the straps that's the issues, it's using a ball as an anchoring point.

I agree. Better that bent instead of the shaft breaking & the ball going through a skull.
